The honest answer is that it's not as hard as you'd think.  Democracy Now! 
airs live and repeats at least twice in the day on Free Speech TV, via the 
DishTV network.  This is one of those 18" dishes and the rates are like 
cable TV at home...quite reasonable.   Details at www.fstv.org

Also, DN! posts an archive of the morning's show on a site around 11am each 
day.  That's how WZBC airs it - one of their guys wrote a simple script to 
download it each day.
